🧵 Read this if you want more energy, better strength, and clearer thinking — without overhauling your life. 1️⃣ Your body runs on ATP — not motivation. When your energy system is underpowered, everything feels harder: training, work, focus, discipline. CreatineLabs exists to fix…


This is an important shift in how people should think about creatine. For years it’s been framed as a muscle supplement, when in reality creatine is a cellular energy buffer — and the brain is one of the most energy-demanding organs we have. This also helps explain why…

We just published the largest review of creatine for brain health. Increased brain creatine levels may function as a buffer to metabolic stress leading to neurological benefits. Doses >5g/day are likely required for brain benefits.

Not looking to be controversial here .. ...but avocados aren’t “heart-healthy” by default. Most of their benefits disappear if your metabolism is already insulin-resistant. They’re nutrient-dense and high in monounsaturated fat, yes. But in people with poor metabolic health,…

This can be good and bad! Yes, GLP-1s work because people eat less. But it’s not willpower doing the work, it’s biology. GLP-1s reduce hunger signals, increase satiety, and slow gastric emptying. In other words, they change the inputs to eating behavior, so eating less feels…

Someone told me she wanted to go on Ozempic since she's struggled with obesity for years. I said Ozempic mainly works by getting people to eat less. She didn't believe me. She thought there was some special mechanism that helped weight loss. Like nah. People just eat less.



Credit where it’s due. This, in my view, is a thorough, well-researched piece, and it’s refreshing to see someone actually dig into the chemistry, testing methods, and incentives behind a trend instead of just repeating marketing claims. And for me, the key takeaway here.…


This is the part people miss: Sugar doesn’t just add calories—it breaks the machinery that burns them. When mitochondria are overloaded, energy drops, fatigue rises, and the body shifts into storage mode. That’s why people feel tired and gain weight at the same time. It’s…

“Sugar is bad for you.” Everyone says it. But almost no one explains why. Here’s the truth about what sugar really does to your body: 🧵



Call it skinny fat, visceral fat, ectopic fat (in the liver, muscle, heart and pancreas) it is a metabolic problem and where insulin resistance, fatty liver disease and cardio risk actually begin. Healthy organ's can't be seen but are far more important than flat stomachs.

Everyone is worried about the fat on their stomach when they should be more concerned about the fat invading their liver, heart, and muscle.



If you respect good thinking expressed well, Dan’s writing never misses. If I was to force myself to to focus on 1 or two aspects initially that actually move the needle, it would be these: 1. Avoid people (strategically). Not because people are bad—but because constant…


Warm water first thing delivers a physiological reset by rehydrating tissues after overnight fluid loss, gently activating digestion and bowel motility and shifts the nervous system out of sleep without spiking stress hormones. It’s less about temperature and more about sequence:…

Drinking warm water in the morning isn’t a trend — it’s a reset.



CREATINE IS OVERRATED This is a most honest post and it’s where people get tripped up. Creatine is overrated as a solution, but underrated as an amplifier. - It won’t fix bad sleep. - It won’t replace training. - It won’t override poor nutrition. But once the fundamentals…

I’m gonna keep it real with you guys: Creatine is one of the most OVERRATED supplements in the history of mankind….if not THE most overrated supplement in the history of mankind Hear me out: I take it I suggest my clients take it It is effective It is safe But it is NOT…

Creatine doesn’t make you smarter—it makes your brain less fragile under load. Its comes into its own when ATP demand is high: mental stress, sleep loss, aging, or low baseline creatine. That’s why effects look modest on paper but meaningful in real life—especially for older…

A real pro move here is to add a pinch of sea salt and you've just turned it into proper cellular hydration, not just water.

Greatest tip I’ve applied to my life.. drinking hot water first thing in the morning ..



Close the dairy. Open the calendar.

SUPPLEMENTS WON'T SAVE YOU! Some real gems here, if I tried the impossible and rank by ROI (all very subjective of course): 1) Creatine — preserves muscle and cognition; rare win-win across systems. 2) Magnesium — if this is low, nothing else works properly. 3) Protein +…

90% of Americans over 65 have a chronic disease. The healthcare system's plan? Manage it with meds until they die - not cure it. I'm not letting that happen to my parents. Here are the 8 supplements I put them on (and exactly how to take each one): 🧵 1. Creatine



This is a great post. After 40, most people are overstimulating insulin while under-stimulating muscle, mitochondria, and satiety signals. That's where protein, eggs, fat and meat help. Fasting creates the contrast between fed and fasted states. Suggest instead of zero…

From 40, Don’t avoid eggs, fat, and meat. Eat them till you're satisfied. What you should do is: — Minimize carbs — Avoid bread and its derivatives — Restrict your eating window: at least 16–18 hours of fasting daily — Avoid simple sugars, sugary fruits, fruit juices, and…
